I974 Senior Class Histor As years go by it is hard to keep track of classmates, and now since we've graduated it's even harder. It seems everyone goes their separate ways and we the senior class of 1974 will be nevermore. But the memories of the thirteen years we spent together will live on in our minds for many years to come. In our first year of school we were guided by Mrs. McDonald. We started out with thirty-two members who con- sisted of, Eugene Anderson, Drew Cooley, Billy Coon, Monte Delzell, Mark Heater, Keith Hudson, Robert Knight, Bruce McClure, Doug Mills, Perry Robb, Frank Springsteen, Michael Taylor, Sheldon Wolfe, Denise Blake, Patti Caldwell, Melodie Delzell, Nancy Fish, Beth Griffith, Peggy Hardin, Lori Heisler, Jennifer I-Iostetter, Melanie Johnson, Dana Kellogg, Elizabeth Lacy, Kathy McCreight, Connie McKee, Ruth Murphy, Judy Sands, Roxanne Wheeler, Michelle Whitham, Rhonda Wilkerson, Spring Rose Wixom. The big highlight of that year was the trip to McDonalds farm. Our second year brought us up the stairs to new surroundings and to Mrs. Beck. Here she taught us all about Dick and Jane and how fast Spot and Puff ran. During this year we lost three who were Keith Hudson, Perry Robb, and Michelle Whitham. We did gain Renee Jones, Mark Wiggins, Charlotte Richardson, Sharon Hammon, Virginia Bo- line, Dennis Dotson, and Danny Noble. In second grade Mrs. DeYarman began to teach us how to tell time and little did we know how short time would be in our last days of high school. Here we lost Robert Knight, Denise Blake, Lori Heisler, Ruth Murphy, Spring Rose Wixom, Renee Jones, Virginia Boline and Mark Wiggins, but gained Carmen and Jerry Bernard, Christine Win- ters, and Howard Duncan. Mrs. Hetherington took hold in third grade and with little help we learned a bit of Spanish. This year we only lost one, who was Michael Taylor. He must not have liked the Spanish so well. There were some newcomers like Nancy Smith, Jane Reimers, Sandra Boline, and Philip Hoffman. Another year went by and we found ourselves in fourth grade with Mrs. Stevenson. Here we sharpened up our knitting needles and our singing voices. A few of our classmates didn't like to sing and soon left us. They were Eliz- abeth Lacy, Kathy McCreight, Charlotte Richerdson, Carmen and Jerry Bernard, Howard Duncan, and Jane Reimers. In Sth grade we became Mrs. Caldwell's greatest rock hounds and butterfly catchers. We did lose one rock hound and that was Peggy Hardin. She must have gone on to greater things. There were two interested butterfly catchers who were Connie German and Mark Strawhacker. Sixth grade took us over to the big building where the BIG kids were. Here we had to start all over again and be the littlest ones. Elaine Carlson, Lester Johnson, and Terry Pulse were among the newcomers for that year. We were saddened though that year by the death of Jennifer Hostetter. Seventh grade still found us struggling with home work galore. That year the class had quite a growth spurt. Becky Calvin, Karen Tillotson, Martha Walker, Rodney Leonard, Richard Hillyard, Bill Jarrett, and Dennis Rice joined us that year. Again the class of 74 was on top, but only of the junior high. We s'dll had four more years to be the top dog. Martha Walker, Rodney Leonard, Richard Hillyard and Bill Jarrett left that year but we still gained three back who were Gloria Pratt, Steven Beights, and Mike Moore. Our Freshman year we started to get into the swing of high school and it was quite an experience. 'I'his year we gained three new people, Joe Niles, John Harris and Tom Harris. The year 1972, our sophomore year, with a lot of hard work, brought us 1st place on our Homecoming float. We did lose John and Tom Harris but gained Kay Wilkins and Judy Rice. Our Big event of our junior years was the building of the prom, The Wizard of Oz . Little did we know it would take so much work in such a short time. We only gained one classmate that year, Larry Ward. And lost three, Eugene Anderson, Sharon Hammon, and Judy Rice. Well here we are, our final year of high school, we finally made it! We did lose two classmates again this year and they were Kay Wilkins and Larry Ward. This made a grand total of 20 graduating seniors, Of this total 17 made the 13 years together, and those of the senior class today are, Pat Caldwell, Melodie Delzell, Beth Griffith, Mel- anie Johnson, Dana Kellogg, Drew Cooley, Bill Coon, Monte Delzell, Mark Heater, Bruce McClure, Doug Mills, Frank Springs, Connie McKee, Judy Sands, Roxanne Wheeler, and Rhonda Wilkerson. Even though we did decrease in number since 1961, we still have the same friendship and loyalty to one another that we started our with. 16
